  • Maple syrup

Optional Toppings

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Sliced bananas
  • Whipped cream

Directions

In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk two eggs until the yolks and whites are blended.

In a separate, small microwave-safe bowl, add honey and heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Add the whisked eggs, honey, buttermilk, melted butter and Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract; whisk to combine. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined.

Preheat a skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat. Coat with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt for a minute or two. Use a ladle or measuring cup to scoop about ¼ cup of batter into the pan. For larger pancakes, ladle 1/2 cup. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown. Lower the heat if necessary. Repeat this step with the rest of the batter and add more butter as needed to coat the pan.

Garnish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
